Not too long back I received the following message from
Becky B., who raises chickens.She
wrote:

"Yesterday
one of my hens got a nasty looking infection on the side of her face around her
eye. When I first saw it, I was horrified. Her face was swollen, and the skin
around her eye was green. There weren’t any open wounds or oozing pus, but this
was definitely an infection of some sort.

She
wouldn't leave the coop, eat or drink, make her usual chicken noises, or even
move, and she also had chills and shivered several times. I thought for sure
we'd lose her.

Then
I remembered the colloidal silver that my grandmother makes and gives us.
Even though there wasn't an open wound, I put some on her face, and a drop in
her eye so the infection didn't get into her eye. And I made her drink some.

I
kept her in the house to monitor her, and she seemed to get worse, the green
was now the whole way around her eye. I gave her colloidal silver 2 more times.
By the end of the day, she was definitely acting like she felt better, the
appearance of the infection had changed, but I couldn't say it looked better.

Now
just 24 hours later, and a little more colloidal silver down her beak, I can
hardly even tell the infection had been there! She's completely acting normal,
eating and drinking, running around with the rest of the flock!

I
really believe that without the silver, and answered prayer, that we would have
lost her. Thank you for educating us about colloidal silver!"

So it appears that both topical and internal use of small
amounts of colloidal silver saved the day for Becky’s hen!

Another Success
Story!

Jennifer M. had a
similar experience, and she documented it with video showing her infected Banty hen before-and-after the colloidal silver treatment.

I’ve provided two snippets from Jennifer’s videos here.The first one shows the hen’s swollen,
infected eye.And the second one shows
it completely healed after the colloidal silver treatment.Here are Jennifer’s comments:

“Steve, colloidal
silver is amazing for animals. I just ordered the Micro-Particle Colloidal
Silver Generator after buying many rounds of the colloidal silver and have used
it on my cats, dogs, chickens, rescued mice, voles and rabbits and even my own
abscessed tooth.

Most recently I used
the colloidal silver on a mycoplasma infection in my Banty
hen. If you have any chicken knowledge, there are two infections -- Coryza and
mycoplasma – that are both highly contagious and often strike poultry.

The infected poultry
have to be culled so they don’t infect the rest of the chickens.These infections can cause respiratory
disease in chickens resulting in nasal discharge, sneezing, and intense swelling
of the face under the eyes.My Banty had it pretty bad.

I used a plastic syringe to give my Banty 1 ml
of colloidal silver at a time, orally.And
I put the same amount of colloidal silver in her electrolyte/ probiotic water.

She was isolated
almost 4 weeks as her sinuses were so swollen. You can see how miserable she
was.

I also supplemented
apple cider vinegar, tumeric and garlic in the water.
But I know it was the silver that worked its magic, because just the apple
cider vinegar, garlic and turmeric had been given her for days before and
weren’t working.

The swelling is
completely down.There are no more swollen
eyeballs.And I've been able to release
them back into the coop with the other hens.”

And Even Another Success Story!

Janet L. wrote to say she’d had a similar experience.She stated:

“I have a flock of 45 organic hens. Last
winter for the first time, I got upper respiratory throughout the flock. Birds
(avian) are extremely sensitive to disease and the success rate of a cure is
very small. In general, by the time you know they’re sick, in most cases death
is imminent.

They had full blown coughing and sneezing with discharge. I immediately
replaced their water source with colloidal silver water. It took a month for all symptoms to go away
but in the process of treatment, not one hen went off her food, stopped laying
or eating, or died. It is nothing short of a miracle. Now it is 6 months later
and everyone is doing wonderfully.”

“We
have at present over 85 chickens. They get something called Coccidiosis, which
is a parasitic infection of the intestinal tract.It usually kills them in 5-6 days!!!But we haven't lost a one to that disease
since we started dosing them with colloidal silver immediately upon discovering
one has this disease.

We
separate the bird & depending upon the stage of the disease, dose them 1-3
times daily, for approximately a week. We've been learning about it over the
last three years, and have been in the experimental stage, so at first, we were
using approximately 10 ppm, once a day, but while that worked they would
eventually relapse.So we increased the
concentration to 23 ppm and haven’t lost any since.”

Catherine L. wrote:“We saved our chicken flock from an infection
that had come in with a few newbies.One
died and the rest starting gurgling like they were drowning.There was no veterinarian to test locally, so
we had nothing to lose by trying colloidal silver.It worked.We only lost the one.The rest
are back to good health. I believe wholly now.”

And Sarah H. wrote, simply:“I have used colloidal silver with
success on chickens. Internally and on wounds.”

Another member of the Colloidal
Silver Secrets Community on Facebook wrote in to say that allowing her
infected chicks to breathe colloidal silver mist through a nebulizer in a
make-shift “croup tent” healed their upper respiratory infections after only a
few treatments.She stated:

"A
splash of colloidal silver in the chicken's water clears up any coughs
too....and I had some sick chicks and made a 'croup tent' out of a plastic
grocery bag...I put the sick chicks into the open ‘tent’ and used a nebulizer
to mist it into the 'tent', and one of the chicks is already up and eating
again after only 2 treatments!!Love
this stuff, and love my colloidal silver generator from The Silver Edge even
more!"

Works on Pigeons
Infected with a Parasite, Too!

Brian M. wrote to say that he’s been using colloidal silver
successfully on his sick pigeons, as well.He stated:

“We
are a small charity in London (London Wildlife Protection) and we run on a very
small budget. We mostly pay our own
costs and occasionally people submitting birds will make a donation.

I
say this because I want to make the point that we cannot submit a bird to a vet
every time we are not sure what the problem is. We mostly treat pigeons which have very hard
lives in the cities. T heir average life span drops from 14 years to 4 years
because they live in a city.

This
is where colloidal silver is the most useful to us. We can either try a different antibiotic every
three days or so and hope we hit the right antibiotic before the infection
overwhelms the pigeons body, or we can give colloidal silver, which has a very broad-spectrum
action on diseases and even treats things that antibiotics cannot, such as
viruses.

I
have found in general that it is better to give colloidal silver than try to
guess the right antibiotic drug.I have
far more pigeons with undiagnosed disease that have survived after colloidal
silver than I have that went through the trial-and-error procedure with the
antibiotic drugs.

We
also have problems with some of the antibiotic drugs no longer working as well
as they once did, forcing us to use such drugs in combination to get rid of an
infection.

One
of the worst diseases in this regard is Canker, which is a protozoa that build
up a cheese-like deposit in the pigeons throat and sometimes deeper in the
body. The pigeon can suffocate slowly from this build up. I have found
colloidal silver works against this protozoa even when
it is resistant against a number of the drugs we use.

I
feel with the greater antibiotic drug resistance that we are meeting in various
pathogens, colloidal silver is going to be a big part of future treatment of
animals that are in places where they are exposed to a lot of diseases.

I
grow more positive on colloidal silver as the days go by.I’m finding it easier to control the spread
of disease by adding colloidal silver to their water and giving it directly to
those that are sick. I have a lot of sympathy for street pigeons, as they live
such awful and short lives because of the way they are hated by people.People should know better and be more
compassionate to such a poor animal.”

Parrots, Cockatiels, Ducks
and More!

Colloidal silver apparently works well on other types of sick
birds, as well.Here are some examples
from people who have written in:

Kimberly G. wrote:“My parakeet was very sick for a few days and
couldn't even sit on his perch so I added colloidal silver to his water and a
few hours later he was perfectly fine.”

Marshalee H. wrote to say:“I
cured a baby cockatiel bird of Giardia with my home made colloidal silver.I just put a few drops right into her beak
throughout the day. The vet was amazed!!!”

Amber S. wrote to say:“Yes! I have a bird that got
attacked by the cat a few days ago. The wound was very large and gruesome and I
didn't think he'd make it. I applied Colloidal Silver (from my home generator)
every hour that day and then at the end of the day saturated it with
coconut oil to re-moisturize it... His wound was COMPLETELY closed back up by
the next morning and he's just as happy and healthy now as ever!!”

Patricia J. wrote to tell me:“My
bird, Captain Jack, has been sick for months.I got him from someone who did not take good care of him.He had a hole in his neck.I spent $150 for antibiotics.Guess what?They did not work.Meantime I got
this silver maker and I’ve been putting the colloidal silver into his bath and his
drinking water.The hole in his neck is
gone.No more vet bills for Capt Jack. He was even chattering, which he has not done
in weeks.Thank you.Silver is magic.”

Marvin
D. wrote to say:“My parrot chewed on his right wing eight years ago.The feathers didn’t grow back until 2 weeks
ago when I started holding him down and spraying the wing with colloidal silver.
The feathers are not completely grown
out, but are visible and growing.”

Sandra F. wrote to say:

“Dear Steve, have to tell you how I have just saved my cockatiel, my
third pet success. She was already a cripple when given to me with two broken
wings & a broken leg which was already useless due to a solid abscess.

A
week ago she developed a lump on her back.A few hours later it had doubled in size and I thought she would burst.
I rang my sister for advice, as she breeds cockatiels.She advised me to lance the abscess and swab
the area with colloidal silver, and use a plastic syringe to put colloidal
silver down the bird’s throat.

I
was unable to lance the lump.So just
did the swabbing & syringing. After 5 days the abscess is almost gone, from
a half-walnut size to flat!”

And finally, Anne T. wrote to say, “I have used colloidal silver in the drinking water of my ducks and
chickens. They are never sick. J”

Dosages for Sick
Birds?

From what I've read, it appears most bird lovers either add
a teaspoonful or two of colloidal silver to their bird’s drinking water, for
preventive purposes.Or, if the bird is
already sick, they might give it 1 cc of colloidal silver, up to three times a
day, orally, using an eyedropper or a plastic syringe.

This generally works for both stomach infections as well as
upper respiratory infections.But for stubborn
upper respiratory infections, some bird lovers sequester their sick birds into makeshift
croup tents (aka “mist tent”), and run aerosolized colloidal silver mist into
the ‘tent’ using a nebulizer.(Learn
more about using nebulized colloidal silver to treat pets with upper
respiratory infections, here.)

Interestingly, there’s actual clinical documentation for
this.In a study titled "Silver and
Its Compounds," published in the journal Disinfection, Sterilization
and Preservation, it’s noted by the study authors that, "In veterinary medicine, claims have been
made that an ionic silver aerosol, upon inhalation, has protected chickens
against coli-bacteriosis and pullorosis-typhus
infections."

This means ionic colloidal silver given to poultry as an
aerosol (i.e., probably using a cool mist vaporizer or a nebulizer with
colloidal silver in it), appears to have protected the chickens from infection.

Dismissed by
Veterinarians

Loved by Bird Lovers!

Unfortunately, veterinarians who specialize in bird care
tend to dismiss colloidal silver out-of-hand.Naturally, they'd prefer to charge you money to treat your birds with
prescription antibiotics, rather than have you self-treat your birds with safe,
natural colloidal silver.And of course,
the vets have veterinary medical training, whereas most bird owners don't.

Nevertheless, there are many bird owners who treat their
birds for infections using colloidal silver.And there are even colloidal silver products said to be specifically
made for bird care, such as this
one from All ParrotProducts.com.Here’s another one
from The PrettyParrot.com website; they even sell colloidal silver dispenser
bottles for pet birds!

I have never used either of the above-linked colloidal
silver products, and have no connection whatsoever with the companies behind
them; I am just presenting these links, which I found in ten seconds using a
Google search, to demonstrate that bird experts do indeed use colloidal silver
to help cure their pet birds of infections.

However, it appears just about any good brand of colloidal silver will do.Or you do what a lot of chicken raisers and
bird lovers do, and make your own high-quality colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart, using a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator from The Silver Edge. The
money you save by making your own colloidal silver instead of buying commercial
brands can be astonishing!

We have a number of readers who have written in and said things like "I add a few drops of colloidal silver to our
parrot's drinking water each time I change it, and spray her and her cage with
it frequently."

Many farmers also use colloidal silver on their poultry to
clear up infections that can spread rapidly.(The FDA, by the way, frowns on the use of colloidal silver by farmers;
see their strange warning against using colloidal silver for farm animals or
pets, here.)

This
is very common in poultry and easily treated. Mycoplasma is an infection passed around in
hens throughout the country. Hens with mycoplasma need to have antibiotics.
These antibiotics can be put in the drinking water of given straight to hen
orally.

We
use high-stability colloidal silver which is a natural antibiotic -- safe on
humans and animals. You can either give direct into the hen’s mouth twice a day
or put a teaspoon into their drinking water.”

On the BackyardChickens.com website I found the following
interesting account::

"I
have used colloidal silver with immediate success. I rescued 4 black sex-links [i.e.,
cross-bred chickens -- ED] and one of them started sneezing with congestion
right after releasing them from quarantine.

As
a newbie chicken mom, I was scared she had infected the whole flock. I believe
in using antibiotics as little as possible...so, I grabbed my colloidal silver,
added 2 teaspoons to a gallon of their water plus 2 teaspoons of apple cider
vinegar for 5 days and her sneezes and congestion was totally gone and has not
returned!

None
of the rest of my flock ever showed signs of what she might have had either...Since
then I use 1/2 teaspoon daily in their water."

I also found the following account on the
BackyardChickens.com website:

"I
came home yesterday to a sneezing and wheezing chicken. I quickly removed her
and administered 1 cc of 20 ppm colloidal silver. I also soaked a small piece
of bread with olive oil and 3 drops of the colloidal silver because I was not
sure exactly how much of the 1 cc I had gotten down her as she was fighting me.

Within
an hour she was no longer wheezing. Before bedtime I gave her another 1 cc of
the silver with the help of hubby so I was sure I had gotten it down her. She
was confined to a large wire dog crate away from the other chickens
overnight.

In
the morning she was fine and this afternoon I returned her to the coop with the
other hens. I wanted to share this as I have had another hen that had on two
different occasions over the past couple of years presented with the same
symptoms and the silver had worked successfully and almost
immediately."

Finally, I saw the following comment on the BackYardChickens.com
site, from a woman who had a hen afflicted with Marek's disease, a potentially
deadly virus that from the herpes virus family that can leave chicken’s paralyzed:

"I
brought the hen into the house, in a plastic tub with bedding. I force fed her
(figuring it couldn't hurt) a mixture of colloidal silver and water at first,
then as she perked up, colloidal silver mixed with "emergen-C"
vitamin powder.

For
two days she lay on her side, then moved to lying on her breast, then spent
yesterday standing up. After the first two days she started eating again.

As
she was crawling with lice I also treated her with topical Ivermectin and diatomaceous
earth.Today I moved her back to the
flock. She is wobbly on her legs, but can run around and fly. However, she is
closing one eye now, and pecks at her food several times before finding it (I
read about Marek's impairing vision).

Tomorrow
I will probably bring her back in the house and continue the nursing treatment.
Her recovery was remarkable...but everything I read about Marek's says to cull
the bird (I have not done this yet, and for various reasons would find it very
difficult to do)."

In another post, the same lady wrote, in answer to a
question posed to her about using colloidal silver on her chickens:

"I
first heard about using colloidal silver for chickens in Patricia Forman's book
City Chicks...I just know it seems to really work well on chickens...

My
Marek’s hen seems to be doing well. I brought her back in the house. She is
alert and eating and gaining weight. In fact, she broke out of her box last
night, which I had loosely covered with chicken wire, and spent the night on my
son's bed (he is away at college.) Luckily her diarrhea had cleared up.

I'm
going to treat her irritated eye with colloidal silver... Hopefully another
week of TLC will have her back with the other hens."

And finally, here’s another Marek’s survival story from the
BackYardChickens.com website:

"A
while back, I posted about curing two of my hens of Marek's with Colloidal
Silver (CS). I've had several chickens lovers contact me and let me know that
because of my post, they gave colloidal silver to their paralyzed chickens and
they have all completely recovered and are walking again.

I
also want to share about a recent experience with a rooster that healed because
of colloidal silver. Copper is a beautiful copper-colored rooster who, when 4-5
months old, began having trouble walking. The joints in his legs lost their
strength and he ended up walking on those joints (equivalent to where our knees
are). It was horribly sad as he was not only sweet, but beautiful.

I
began to give him colloidal silver. He must have had a really advanced case of
it because it took weeks before he started showing signs of being able to walk
normally again. I used to visualize his legs as super strong as I'd see him
hobbling around the yard and with the applications of colloidal silver, his
legs got stronger and he started to walk.

Every
so often, his joints would give out again. He would walk with his tail way high
and his head low at first because it kept his legs straight. Then one day, he
began walking normally. It was such a triumph. Beautiful Copper could
walk."

A Very Unusual Use:

Soaking Bird Seed in
Colloidal Silver

Finally, there’s this short but unusual use for colloidal
silver, for birds, from Victor H, who wrote me by email to say:

“I
have a bird aviary. I soak bird seed for them. The seed
germinates and creates sprouts.It is
very good for the birds nutritionally. But one of the dangers of soaking
bird seed is that you run the risk of developing mold in the seed. So
I’ve been using colloidal silver in the soak. I have not had any mold at
all in soaked seed. The birds are doing great. They love the sprouts!”

I’ll bet they love those sprouts!After
all, they were soaked in colloidal silver, so the birds get the dense nutritional
benefits of the sprouts, plus the added antimicrobial and immune-boosting
benefits of the colloidal silver. And
the birds won’t be ingesting potentially harmful mold from sprouting the bird
seed.

Compare
that to major health food store brands of colloidal silver, which usually cost
between $20 and $30 for a tiny,four-ouncebottle, and you’ll see that the
savings are astonishing.

In
fact, compared to health food store prices for colloidal silver, your very
first one-quart batch of micro-particle colloidal silver actually pays for the
entire cost the generator. Do you know ofanyother health product that literally
pays for itself the very first time you use it?

Obviously,
having the ability to make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal
silver for only pennies per quartis
about as close as you’ll ever get to having "free" colloidal silver
for the rest of your life, any time you or a family member, friend or loved one
needs it.

And
because the silver particles produced by this amazing breakthrough in colloidal
silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm – a fraction of asinglenanometer – their effectiveness
against colonies of pathogenic microbes is astonishing.

Because
of their extremely small size, the tiny, submicroscopic silver particles are up
to1,000 times more
bioavailablethan
conventional silver particles. This
means the human body is able to absorb 99-100% of the silver, send it
throughout the body to kill pathogens, and then excrete it with ease,
afterwards.

Perhaps
that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the
effectiveness of their homemade micro-particle colloidal silver, as you can see
atthis web pagefull of real-life colloidal
silver success stories.
